A Writing Tool You Can't Miss

16/3/2021

It's not new, from what I gather, but this writing tool is new to me, having been mentioned in a tweet I saw today. 

WORD FREQUENCY COUNTER

This website will count how many time you've typed EVERY word in your essay, story, poem... whatever you've written. My outcome 'Scrabble Pieces', my 'work in progress', was kinda boring at the top of the word list, but as I got down to the words used less than 10 times it became a much more eloquent list!

The nerd in me loved this. 

I won't be making any changes given my top 12, but it did make me consider more about which words I choose to use. Interestingly though, my two protagonists (female twins) are  6 spots apart from each other, Rachel having her name 40% more.

If you're writing something at the moment I thoroughly recommend having a play with this tool. You only need ot paste your text body into the text box on the website and it's analysed instantly.

Blogging for my Sanity

I'm not feeling like me at the moment, and I think a blog will help, so here goes!

So, our house move didn't go ahead on Friday. We had 36 hours notice of it being postponed, so most of our stuff was and is still packed. Who knows what this week will bring... Certainly more trips to Wales (twice daily) for the nursery drop-off... It's not far, but it's something I'd like to have canned by now!

Added to this stress, I've been worried about my daughter who's had a dicky belly, battling to keep my weight even at the highest I'm semi-happy with, and working HARD in my day job. Baking has been put off for a while until we move, but that's stressful because I'm losing money now we've not moved on time! ARGH!

The worst bit? The unknown. It's a hard thing to deal with, in any situation. I remember feeling similarly out of sorts at the start of lockdown, when things were all unknown and worrisome, when we didn't know how we'd cope or for how long. Thankfully Covid-19 isn't on my 'stress list' at the moment, although it didn't help yesterday not being able to see my mum. I just want to know when we'll be moving FOR SURE and just get on with it!!!

I've started today with a bit of a clearer head. A chat with my friend certainly helped, a good night's sleep (but I always have them!), and a renewed resolve to stick to no carbs before 2pm has definitely helped me shuffle away from the crappy feeling I had this weekend. 

Today's blog was a bit of a rant, apologies, but I really do feel a little better having written it down. Ever felt like that??

    I'm a writer based in South Wales, with an unhealthy obsession with stationery and baking. I mainly blog for my own sanity, but I'm also working on a novel. Still.
